Inserting several pictures into MS Word at once without using Media Browser

iphotoms officephotos

In Microsoft Word 2011, we can either "insert picture from file" or "insert from photo (media) browser". For users who do not have pictures stored in iPhoto or Photobooth, we are forced to use "insert picture from file" method, which only allows for one picture to be added at a time. How can I add more than one picture at a time?

It is not clear what alternative you are wanting besides those two options, but you might add a smart folder somewhere that filters by kind "image" which would let you insert image from file that is sort of like a photo browser.

Alternatively there is a very old tip (like 2008) in this Mac OSX Hints thread that says you should be able to add folders to the media browser by dragging them from the finder into the media browser window. I have no idea if this still works.
